Great view of the man made canals. Can walk along the small sidewalk, cross bridges and take pictures. Some hotels/airbnb's no doubt around this area. Scenic and a site to see if you're visiting the city. We parked by Abbot Kinney (by Inteligensia coffee) and walked to the canals. Probably the best decision because parking can be tricky.

Update: We went to the Venice Canals in Feb 2019, and they were looking pretty weak. There isn't a lot of water and the canals seemed to have dried up, leaving some boats and canoes on soil (see pic). I was shocked to see this.
